[1] The Coliseo was built in the context of the redevelopment and reconstruction of Eibar, which was left in ruins in the Spanish Civil War, in what the Franco regime called the War-Devastated Regions rebuilding plan.

Within the application of that plan in Eibar, the theater was built adjacent to some houses designed a year earlier by architects Domínguez-Elósegui and Ponte, buildings that Eusa explicitly mentioned in his project, and with which he combined the theater's look and volume.

That year the cinema was closed and a demolition file was initiated in the Eibar town hall.

The Basque-Navarrese College of Architects filed an appeal against the demolition, defending Eusa, and it was paralyzed.

[1] In the 21st century, a reform was carried out, respecting the exterior and remodeling the entire interior, directed by the architects José Miguel Martín Herrera, Fernando Oñoro and Jorge Unzeta-Barrenetxea.
